Abstract
This report is concerned with reviewing programme impact evaluations undertaken in the areas of child labour and education. The studies investigate the effects of promoted interventions on individuals, household and institutions exploring intended and unintended consequences, whether positive or negative. It is important for the evaluation system to be able and assess targeting efficiency and short- to long-term outcomes. For a correct estimate of the programme impact, the type of evaluation methodology employed is fundamental. We present several case studies of programme evaluation, which may be classified in two major categories: 'Social Fund Programmes' and 'Targeted Human Development Programmes'. Our major concern is to highlight the evaluation of the effectiveness of the education programmes.
